Episode notes

Welcome to another addition in our long series of commentary about the comprehensive signs of overreaching and overtraining.

This content is inspired by the incredibly thorough look at all aspects of overtraining and remedies that is contained in the Primal Fitness Expert Certification course, and this topic is such an important one to discuss—it is so helpful and supportive to have extensive knowledge about how body works, as well as how it can fool you by over producing stress hormones and making you feel great, not sore, and full of energy so you continue to train harder and harder.

As you will hear, you will always crash and burn eventually, so having an understanding the nuances of this and being able to identify the little signs that come up so you can take corrective action and back off (even if you’re feeling hyped up and energized to do more training) is an integral part of fitness and overall wellness.

Tune into the episode to learn what excessive thirst often signifies, the symptoms of chronic dehydration and failure to hydrate optimally, the importance of rehydration and why merely chugging a gallon of water after a sweaty workout isn’t enough, how to ensure that your body absorbs all the fluid it needs, how you can determine when your autonomic nervous system is out of balance, and more!
